Hi all,

We just created a great blog for moms and dads. This blog is a place where parents share tips and ideas and discuss their wins from application of Scientology in the upbringing of their children. You are invited to read them, comment on them and even add your own success stories and ideas to the blog. It's fun! It's a blog! Check it out! http://scientologymomsanddads.blogspot.com/


Cheers,
Erica

Hi guys! This success story on The Personal Efficiency course touched my heart and I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!

~Erica


"I was given the Personal Efficiency course as a gift, and thus began my education in Scientology. Although I had done quite a bit of reading on my own, I enjoy pointing out that my first class was a gift because I believe it is very indicative of the aims and goals of Scientology. To help me help myself. Instead of a gift of material possession plucked from the shelves of consumer monotony, I was given the self empowering knowledge to help me improve my life.

"In the Personal Efficiency course, I have learned some basic tools to help me effectively communicate with others. I have also learned how to identify the problems I may run into in my relationships and how to correct those issues. In studying, I have found that as long as I continue to create upon the goals I wish to accomplish, there is no end in sight to the things I want to do. I recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a good base of knowledge on Scientology, and to anyone who wishes to be at cause in their life. But most importantly, I've learned that I have a whole lot more to learn! And I look forward to that journey."

We got a new interview with a local Scientologist, who has been doing services at our Mission, posted on our web-site.

Here is the sneak-preview of it:

"Now I laugh at things more and enjoy being in the present moment and look forward to the future more than I ever have."

Read the whole interview on our website.

Happy New Year!!

Now is the time to make your New Year's resolutions!

If you need help achieving the goals you set, remember we are here for exactly that purpose.

All of us here at Sherman Oaks Mission wish you the very best this New Year and we look forward to seeing you very soon!

Ok guys, have you heard about Scientology Study Technology? It's used in many private and public schools around the world. In our Mission we deliver the courses where you can learn this approach to study and with that greatly improve your ability not only to learn any subject, but also to successfully apply what you've learned.

Here is a success story from one of our students, who did the basic course covering the Study tech, called Basic Study Manual.

“This course was wonderful because it shed a much needed light on the subject of study for me. The part on dictionaries and how to use them was awesome because the public school I went to never bothered to teach me this. This course will definitely help me study better and learn more thoroughly."

“It is amazing that there is a solution and a process for everything in Scientology. I injured my wrists 2 years ago and never fixed it, so every time I used my wrists too much, they started hurting. I then went to see a doctor, but my wrists were not improving. All it took was a simple assist and PTS handling to start the healing process!”

~ V.B., Assist Auditing program

Great news! Last week one of our parishioners completed Grade I! Grade I is a series of Scientology auditing processes that addresses your ability to handle problems. Here is what Pam has to say about her wins from this Grade:

"This Grade was fantastic. I feel so much relief having done it. It has made me feel much more stable in life. Things I was not confronting are one by one falling away — I’m confronting them and getting them handled! When I saw EP — I was actually surprised that it was exactly my feeling. It’s like magic this stuff. So ingenious — I love finally doing it and seeing the results on me! Thank you so much!"

Love,
P.S.

Hi all,
I wanted to share a quote from one of my favorite Scientology books, which is "Scientology: A New Slant on Life".

What are the different conditions of existence and how can you navigate through them to get from going downhill up to expansion and success?

Attend this lecture and find out:
